The shoulder belts should be mounted as close to the occupant as possible, separated by 2-3 inches
at the mount.
The correct restraint model, (I.E. 10 degree, 15 degree…..) is chosen by the seat angle and contour.
The restraint should “fit” the contour of the seat and head rest / head restraint. The driver can
quickly determine if the restraint will fit into the car’s seat by holding it against the back of the seat
lined up with the shoulder belts.
If the restraint contacts the headrest at the top and bottom only, a different model may be chosen or
the headrest can be set back to allow room for the restraint.
Fitting the Restraint to the Wearer
The Hybrid Head and Neck Restraint has an adjustable chest strap to fit a variety of wearers.
To adjust the chest strap: loosen the chest strap in the buckle and slide the buckle to fit the occu-
pant’s chest size. Since the chest strap provides a load path for head load, the harness should fit
snug to tight in the chest area.
